The No. 6 Fortress Artillery was the artillery group that Vanner patrolled before the attack. Because it was located close to the edge of the position, it was hardly attacked except for two waves of spears. It can resume operation after being staffed.
Less than a minute after receiving the parameters, the fortress gun spewed furious flames towards the target!
The distance of two kilometers made the arc of the cannonball extremely low, and both human soldiers and devils on the battlefield heard the special whistle produced by the whistling of the warhead.
But the difference is that the latter immediately ushered in an earth-shattering roar!
The heart-pounding Lord of War is back in its realm once again!
The accuracy of the large-caliber artillery within this distance is no longer erratic. The first shot of the projectile accurately landed at the feet of a reptile. The violent explosion directly overturned half of its body, and the open shell was even more fragile. And fly, so that its internal flesh and blood is completely exposed.
In addition, there was a group of madmen who were guarding the reptiles.
Judging from their posture, it was obvious that they were guarding against the witch's raid, but under the pressure of the mortar, they had to curl up beside the "big spider" lying on their stomach, hoping to rely on the outer limbs of the stone to block the flying shrapnel.
However, in the face of the difference in caliber, this move became meaningless, and the energy generated by the explosion was easily transmitted to them through the crawler.
The shock wave shattered the internal organs and bones of the mad demon in the blink of an eye, causing their seemingly stable bodies to ripple like water ripples. When the dust fell, there were only corpses scattered all over the place.
"Hit!" Sylvie couldn't help but waved his fist, "The next target is... 12 degrees and 6 minutes, 2480 meters away!"
"No problem, support will be here soon!"
At the same time, the devil, who was suffering from mortar bombardment, finally entered the area one kilometer in front of the position.
Just when everyone thought that the war was about to be decisive, the enemy's offensive came to an abrupt end.
The whole process only lasted less than ten minutes.
The mad demon rushing in front once approached within 500 meters of Wangbei Slope, that is, in front of the first barbed wire.
But that's all.
Without the threat of the beast, all the machine gun squads on the front line, including the anti-aircraft machine guns, aimed their barrels at the swarming enemies.
The entire battlefield can almost be described as boiling for a while.
The firepower possessed by the First Army was no longer comparable to that of the Battle of Cold Wind Ridge. At that time, the limited number of heavy machine guns were carefully placed in the bunker and only allowed to deal with the most threatening targets. Now Finally, I can freely tilt ammunition to any enemy who steps in the range, even if such "splurge" can only last for one battle.
The 500-meter section became the hunting ground for the precision shooting team in the first trench.
For the devil, obstacles such as barbed wire are usually not considered at all, and their strong bodies are enough to jump over or uproot stakes.
But in the eyes of snipers, doing so is no different from suicide.
When the devil finds that he can't get within the distance of the spear anyway, the collapse can no longer be controlled. It has nothing to do with discipline and morale, but more like the intuitive despair of the beast.
After dropping nearly a thousand corpses in front of the defense line, they turned around and receded like a tide. During this process, the machine guns kept firing until the barrels were roasted red.
Compared to the fierce battle at the rear, the front line seemed a little calmer.
Sylvie finally felt relieved. I am afraid that only she knows how thrilling the "Ace Showdown" two kilometers away is. The magic vortex of the last two crawler monsters has been filled, and just as it was about to be stimulated, the revised No. 1 and No. 3 fortress cannons made up for this link in time.
If it was a second or two later, the stone pillar would definitely cause more damage to the First Army in the exchange of fire.
But no matter what, this battle was won by mankind and entered this forgotten land again after four hundred years of silence, and mankind finally got a ride back from the devil.
…
It will be four days before Roland gets the detailed report from the front.
Due to too many victories, the First Army spent a lot of energy to clean up the battlefield. According to Taquila's experience, the first thing to do is to burn the devil's body and take away all the magic stones.
Especially the latter, if you can't take away the magic stone from the enemy's body, it can't be regarded as a complete victory. If it is recovered by the other party, it will soon appear on a new devil.
The final statistic was also quite astonishing. Almost 6,000 devils died in this ambush, and this number had already exceeded the total number of soldiers of the First Army.
Among them, less than half of those who were directly killed by artillery and machine guns were killed by the red fog.
It is not that the opponent was not well prepared. In the post-war inventory, the First Army found more than a dozen siege beasts that were converted into vehicles, and this did not include the scrapped products that had been bombed into parts. If the humans were at a disadvantage, they could have slowly replenished the fog cans, but the rout made it all come to nothing. Relying on the red fog he carried alone, it was an unreachable road to retreat from the outpost to the ruins of Taquila.
"If I remember correctly, those siege beast witches can also use it, right?" Roland said to the Listening Sigil.
"You're right, the core of this thing is the magic stone, as long as it takes a little training," the respondent changed from Iron Axe to Zoe, "Although the movement speed is slow, it can carry a lot of things, the Federation will It has been used in place of mules and horses for long-distance transportation."
It seemed good to hand them over to the Ministry of Construction. Roland thought to himself that the engineering team just lacked a batch of transport vehicles, and the slow speed was an advantage in the city.
It's a pity that the most seized throwing magic stone is not very useful. It needs to be combined with the magic life body to play its full role. It is a special magic stone for the devil tribe, and it is usually brought back to the rear for centralized destruction.
"By the way, how did the enemy escape Sylvie's detection?"
"Let me answer this question," Agatha cleared her throat, "after the battle, we conducted a comprehensive search of the outpost and found an underground passage that connects to a cave two kilometers away, and There, we found an underground camp built by the devil. There is not only a fog storage tower, but also a stone pillar of God's punishment. The overall scale is a bit larger than the outpost used as bait. In fact, that is the devil A real stronghold."
Roland couldn't help frowning, "Can it cover a camp's God's Stone of Retribution?"
"That's right," Agatha said slowly, "the diameter is nearly five meters, the height is about ten meters, and the cut surface is smooth, like an ice edge cut off by a sharp blade. Such a thing was unheard of in the federation era. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it."
